On June 1, Okta Inc. rose 6.67% in regular trading, trading at $133.01/share, with trading volume of approximately $150 million.
The rally extends momentum from the company's Q1 fiscal 2027 earnings report, which showed adjusted EPS of $0.91 versus the consensus estimate of $0.85, representing a 7.06% beat and 5.81% year-over-year growth. Revenue reached $765 million, surpassing the $752 million expectation with 11.2% year-over-year growth. The company also raised its full-year FY2027 guidance, projecting adjusted EPS of $3.79 to $3.87.
Additionally, a broader software sector AI narrative reversal—triggered by Snowflake's earnings beat—prompted the market to reprice AI application beneficiaries, lifting Okta as a core identity security name. Berenberg raised its target price to $135, Morgan Stanley reiterated overweight and boosted its target to $115, while Arete upgraded the stock from sell to buy with a $127 target. Management highlighted that Agentic AI infrastructure is driving surging enterprise demand for identity security tools, positioning Okta's Identity Cloud platform for sustained long-term benefits.
